The survival of Black people through slavery, colonialism, segregation, and racism is one of the greatest stories of resilience ever told.

Donald Trump recently posted that I am "a terrible lawyer with a horrible track record." 🙄

In 2020, my team and I defeated him in 64 of 65 cases.⚖️

Today we beat DOJ in two more voter file cases. We are now 7-0.💪

I guess I'm not so terrible after all...😂

bell hooks said that White people will meet a Black person who completely challenges every racial stereotype that they have, but rather than giving up the stereotypes, they create a special category for that person and say, things like “Well, you’re not like other Black people”, instead of saying, “My ideas of Black people were too narrow”.

This is called “subtyping” and it leads to the survival of negative stereotypes because the new category individual who’s supposedly “not like the others” is mentally isolated from the group.

What this shows is that bigotry is all about protecting an existing hierarchy and it doesn’t matter much whether a person is exposed to other people or not. Which is why meeting intelligent, kind, accomplished, or complex Black people does not dismantle prejudice if someone is emotionally invested in keeping the stereotype intact.

Exposure to facts and figures doesn’t change the situation either. Someone can know the statistics on crime, education, poverty, or discrimination and still keep racial stereotypes because the stereotype preserves a sense of superiority and avoids confronting historical responsibility.

This is part of why bell hooks further argued that racism is emotional and ideological more than just purely ignorant, which is then why facts by themselves usually do not overcome a worldview that a person is motivated to preserve.

COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.

There is no close second in our history.

[College Transfer Portal @CollegeFBPortal]

NEW: The NAACP has launched a campaign urging college athletes and fans to withhold support from public universities in Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Georgia over concerns about Black voting representation.

It specifically encourages athletes to consider “all options” under the transfer portal 😳

[NAACP @NAACP]

The NAACP is taking a stand. Today, we launch the #OutofBounds campaign, a national call to action for Black athletes, families, fans, and allies.

In response to states erasing Black voting representation after the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, we are demanding accountability.

"Out of Bounds is our answer: we are naming the contradiction, and we are calling on Black athletes, families, fans, and consumers to act on it. The same power that built these programs can be redirected." —NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP

This is about more than sports. It’s about justice. Learn more and join the movement: https://t.co/H3PDNjEeAL

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

Victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre have never been compensated, but apparently there is a plan afoot to pay the Jan 6 thugs who defecated in the U.S. Capitol, attacked police & destroyed property.

Any country that allows this to happen is, in fact, a racist country.
